martinmac Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 A few people have mentioned that they dont seem to be able to send pms. I suspect this may be because the addressee doesnt notice they have them in their inbox on the new forum. It may be worth people enabling the pop up window in the user control panel/board preferences so they see them.. Quote
M13KYF Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 I've been getting pm's through fine. pop up window also works fine Quote
martinmac Posted March 28, 2009 Author Posted March 28, 2009 I think it just that people dont notice them Mike. A few people have mentioned they seen to sit in the outbox when the recipients are online. Quote
Ekona Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 A few people have mentioned they seen to sit in the outbox when the recipients are online. Maybe they're ignoring them? I think it'll just take time for people to get used to checking the top right of the screen every time they log on to check for messages if they haven't got the pop-up enabled. Quote
shire350Z Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 i spoke to martin about this, alot of messages i have sent seem to just stay in the outbox for ages just wondered if there was any reason for this apart from them just not being read by the recipitant !!! Quote
Maccaman Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 No problem for me as I have the popup switched on. Might be an idea, if its possible, to change to a colour like the Donate & Discount tabs are. Should make it stand out more then. Quote
ZMANALEX Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 I have had 4 pms sitting in my outbox for 4 days now, which were sent to guys who are regulars. No they do not owe me money I am a little concerned that they may think that I am not responding to them. Quote

I just PM'd 3fiddyz (in fact I did it twice) Nothing in sent folder or outbox folder when i checked. He is offline. Quote

Sure the guys can arrange it PMs are working fine for me though, sent and recieved about 10 since the new forum went live, and all worked fine Quote

Chris`I Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 But you DO have an issue with PM's Very odd. Sure the Admins will look into it. I cant see that any mods have been made to the PM system, it will be running out the box as it came from the phpBB release Quote
Chesterfield Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 It may be that the recipients have more than 150 messages in their inbox. If they do, then no new PM's are delivered until there is room, they should be informed of this upon notification that they have a PM. Quote
shire350Z Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 in my inbox it says i have 171 messages but room for 300?! Quote
Lexx Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 in my inbox it says i have 171 messages but room for 300?! You're just special PM's have been ok for me, and Ive sent a fair few since forum went live. Though if pop-ups wernt on, im not certain I would spot I had one waiting Quote
Chesterfield Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 ahh yes - I think I may have upped the limit to 300. So for those that are experiencing problems, check the number of messages in the inbox. If its larger than 300 it may explain new ones not being delivered. Quote
